Question

State two numbers such that the greater number is 75% more than the lesser number

Answer 1

75% is equal to ¾

 

easiest way to do this is to make the smaller number a multiple of 4.

 

say the smaller number is 8. 

 

To find the larger number, you must take 75% of 8 and then add it to 8.

 

1/4 of 8 equals 8 divided by 4, which is 2.

 

Therefore, 3/4 of 8 is 6.  8 + 6 = 14. 

 

So your two numbers could be 8 and 14.

Answer 2

Quite simple. The greater number must be 75% more than the lesser.

You may do greater number as (35), while the lesser number as (20).

To test this: 20*.75 = 15.  20+15 = 35. 
(.75 equals 75% in a quantity)
More so, getting 75% of 20 then adding it to itself to find the greater number as such.
